Biography

Taki is an outcast of the Fu-Ma clan and the most skilled adept of the Musō-Battō-ryū style. Her quest to find Soul Edge ended in a confrontation with Cervantes. She saved the holy warrior Sophitia from near death during the confrontation but lost her beloved sword Rekki-Maru. She returned Sophitia to her homeland before returning to Japan with hopes to reforge Rekki-Maru with a shard of Soul Edge. Unfortunately, the repair failed. Her last hope was to attempt to reforge the enchanted blade Mekki-Maru, which she had hidden in her homeland.

Taki successfully fuses Soul Edge with Mekki-Maru but the power within it worries her. Gekki, a member of the Fu-Ma Clan, demands Mekki-Maru to the leader of the clan. Toki. Taki defeats Geki and flees from the scene. Over time, Toki grew to have an obsession with Mekki-Maru and this was clear to Taki who hid the sword away before reclaiming it. Later, Maki, one of the heads of the Yasunobe Faction, appears before her. She demands Taki to hand over Mekki-Maru to her. The two fight with Taki emerging victorious. In an effort to learn more about Mekki-Maru, Taki travels to Mt. Fuji.

She comes across a strange warrior named Yoshimitsu and fights him. She releases he is an automaton controlled by Toki. She senses the broken seal containing Gel-o-Fury, a great demon she once slew in the past. She senses that Gel-o-Fury is heading to the Hoko-Ji Temple in Kyoto. After fending off numerous attackers, she comes face to face with Shuki, the head of the Fu-Ma clan's Fujibe faction. With Taki as an outcast, he attempts to slay her but is foiled. He admits she should have been the leader of the clan and entrusts her to kill Toki. He gives her Ranjatai, incensed imbued with celestial power.

Continuing her search, she comes across Isurugi, a member under Toki, who tells her he seeks Gel-o-Fury, who has grown more powerful than ever before. He attacks along with the vengeful spirits of Miime and Niime. When she reaches Hoko-Ji Temple, she finds Geki possessed by Gel-o-Fury. After coming to, Geki tells Taki that Toki is no longer in these lands. She decides to cross the seas in search of the sword and her former master.

Physical Appearance

Taki returns with her signature pink bodysuit. She also has her mask from Soulcalibur III. When she does a special attack or a Soul Charge, pink bright symbols appear all over her body.

Personality

Like her original counterpart, Taki seeks out to destroy Soul Edge, the very weapon whose shard is infused on one of her blades, Mekki-Maru, and by proxy that drove her master Toki to madness. She will also stop at nothing in eliminating those who are connected to the cursed sword, good or evil otherwise.
